Really? I'm curious about this. You have a source or link to anything?

I just think it looks right with the emblem on all bikes not just Harleys. It looks to me like you are trying to hide something by taking the emblems off just like the jap riders try to hide that their bike is a Jap bike by taking the emblem off. Of course they aren't fooling anyone. Just my opinion though.

even though i don't have emblems on my tank, i think that bikes with stock HD paint need some sort of emblem, otherwise they just seem to be missing something.
get a nice paint job, though, and unless the emblem is incorporated into the art, it usually looks better to leave it naked

Since you're asking our opinion, I like the having a tank emblem, but only if it looks good. I didn't like the look of the HD emblem on my 09 SuperGlideCustom. I took it off and I found a replacement (on ebay) that goes nicely with the paint. I get a lot of nice compliments of its look.
Personally, I also don't like the safety stickers on the front frame/bar and took it off.

To each his own...
I have the emblem I want in mind...I saw it on a Sporty. It's a -V- with a checkerboard and the Harley-Davidson name. Very sharp.
